Experiencing Audio popping/crackling and sometimes game crashes

I have a mega PC and there is no good reason this should be an issue. Any time I play a game it either has audio cracking and popping or crashes...sometimes both. Specs are below. As for the file attached, I ran Windows Performance Analyzer after starting a game called "Livelock" The test was started as soon as I launched the game and the game takes a few screens to get to the menu. I skipped through the first few and then pressed space to enter the menu and that is when the audio starts malfunctioning. You can see this moment because the "Computation" graph starts to show loads of activity. Now remember, this is just the game menu so idk why there's that much activity but please please please take a look and tell me what seems off. I waited over 8 years to afford my PC and even bought over 500 games in that time and waited patiently to play them and now I'm being tortured by bad audio. All of my drivers are up to date and temps never get out of control btw. Let me know what the graphs reveal. Thanks in advance!!!

Specs:

Mobo- Asus ROG z270E

GPU- Zotac AMP Extreme 1080Ti (connected with a riser cable but I've never heard of that being an issue)

Whenever I play audio (YouTube, foobar, VLC player, video games) I can hear a popping/crackling sound whenever I start or stop it. It's like the small crackle sound you hear when you plug in headphones/speakers. This also happens during playback, although not randomly – it's usually a specific part of the audio/video file that causes the popping. I can even find the particular "pop" spot and replay it.

Additionally, whenever I'm playing a video game I get random frame skips at random intervals. This happens in all my video games – WoW, Subnautica, Fallout 4, Dark Souls 3.

Originally I had the ASUS Prime z370-A which I thought to be the issue. But I replaced it with the ROG Strix and I can still hear the popping/crackling and the frame skips still happen.

Does anyone have experience with this issue? This is my first build over $1k and I'm very distressed that I cannot find the problem. Could it be the hard drives? RAM, maybe?

Audio crackling and acting weird but only when gaming.: After a good few months of not running any games on my laptop, I decided to run Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and noticed the audio was severely crackling.

Untimely audio crackles: Everything was fine until yesterday morning when I booted up my laptop, played some music and heard a ton of tiny cracks, sounding like if I had DPC latency.
